Important Notice

z This system only provides a navigational reference. Do not use this

measurements.

z The first GPS positioning should be performed at a single set point,

depend on the satellite signal strength, cloud levels; possibly taking up
to 10 minutes.

z GPS (Global Positioning System) is the satellite system used by the

United States of America Department of Defense. All maintenance and
operations are also managed by the United States of America
Department of Defense. Should the system be modified and adjusted,
the precision and operation of GPS related systems might be affected.

z Any wireless communication products (mobile phone, radio, speed

detection unit etc) might affect the GPS signal, resulting in a poor
signal.

z For safety reasons, do not operate this system while driving a vehicle.
